ya, I programmed a patch in Opcode's Max that did a similar thing. whenever you pressed a key, it would send midi on/off notes using the mod wheel to determine the length of delay in between notes... kinda cool, and pretty simple. Anyone on the list know where to get a copy of Max??? finally got my own keyboard (wavestation ex) and am getting back into it...

quoted 1 line sorry. i just wanted to be a jerk.

a complete knee biter... sure your name's not arthur? q

I agree, the digitech dsp128, one of the very first multi-effects boxes made, has a similar setting, and It would not be possible to do bouncing ball with it. Even if it were i'd congratulate RDJ for finding a decent use for the damn thing. Sequencing or sample editing, I don't really know of any sequencers that can go fast enough to produce a tone from a sample, unless his claims to having cutomized sequencing software is true?

well it's quite simple actually.. you can even do it in fast tracker... take a snare, and then use the trigger command. note delay/trigger.. I think it's e1xx, anyway.. it will divide the note between the lines.. the smaller the number the more times the note gets hit on that line, ranges from 4-1 usually.. depending on speed, if you go real fast the versatility is decreased.. anyhow I've acheived this effect in quite a few tracks.. if you want to do a thing like in bouncing ball, not the bouncing ball, but the part where the snares play so close together that they form a tone, you do this... play the snare at whatever pitch you want, normal pitch, and then put the e101 command on it (fastest retrigger), and that should be somewhat of a tone depending on the tempo.. then play it at a 5th higher in pitch than that, also with e101.. the tone will be higher in pitch.. it works really well :) anyway.. that's how i do it, I reckon the same general idea can be applied to a sequencer and an external sampler :) note: I do not try to make music that sounds like RDJ's stuff, nor do I copy his stuff so please omit such flames from my mailbox. .auddplte <-- _nothing_ by *noone* on _nonexistant recordings_ __ __\ \ / /_\ \ \_____/ "..in whatever you do, if you can't break new ground, what's the point?" - James Cameron

one other thing.. It should be quite easy to do that with a sample editor via the delay effect...:) believe me, if I can do it with the LAMEASS sample editor of Octamed Sound Studio here on my Amiga, you should DEFINITELY be able to do it in Sound Forge or the like. :) since the oss sample editor isn't even made to be an fx unit.. I have other programs for that (the reverb still sucks tho. it should be renamed to fast delay, not reverb ;) __ __\ \ / /_\ \ \_____/ "..in whatever you do, if you can't break new ground, what's the point?" - James Cameron
